Well, I might have spoken too soon. I thought I blew the main seal because I was billowing smoke out of the back. Turns out I might have caught the clogged EHM quick enough to not do any damage. The clogged EHM caused a serious amount of cylinder blow by, causing tons of smoke from the tail pipe. I immediately pulled over and cut the EHM which helped with the smoke a little. Over the next few days, the smoke started to get less and now there is no smoke but my exhaust still smells like burning oil.
There are no oil leaks under my rig, so I'm thinking that I dodged a bullet.
I originally did the EHM years back because my intake hose had deteriorated in one spot where the oil was pooling and a hole had formed.


More likely your black smoke was due to filling the oil to the full line on the dip stick, which is too full. It gets blown out of the CCV and then stops when the overfill is not overfilled

Makes me wonder how good a clogged EHM is for the turbo "engine death" seal, as well as others?
